It is designed to read zero at sea level in the vicinity of the aerodrome, unlike QNH which will not read precisely zero at sea-level. [2] Related to the altimeter settings are: TA [3] - Transition Altitude - altitude at which the pilot changes the aircraft's altimeter setting (usually from QNH) to standard pressure (1013.25 hPa)
QNH A notice to a named station that the frequency that the station is transmitting on is higher than the Net's nominal frequency. c.f. QNL. QNI When used by the Net Control Station, this is a request for all stations to announce themselves. When used by a regular Net member, it simply is an announcement that they have joined. QNJ
Automatic terminal information service, or ATIS, is a continuous broadcast of recorded aeronautical information in busier terminal areas.ATIS broadcasts contain essential information, such as current weather information, active runways, available approaches, and any other information required by the pilots, such as important NOTAMs.
Data from a barometric pressure sensor are used to calculate QNH altimeter setting. Pilots rely on this value to determine their altitude. To ensure safe separation from terrain and other obstructions, high degree of accuracy and reliability is required from a pressure sensor.
qnh The pressure set on the subscale of the altimeter so that the instrument indicates its height above sea level (the altimeter will read runway elevation when the aircraft is on the runway). [ 1 ]

QNE is an aeronautical code Q code.The term refers to the indicated altitude at the landing runway threshold when or is set in the altimeter's Kollsman window. It is the pressure altitude at the landing runway threshold.
The program also developed marathon versions of the Game. In its early years, if an addict threatened to leave Daytop, the staff put him in a coffin and staged a funeral. One of Daytop’s founders, a Roman Catholic priest named William O’Brien, thought of addicts as needy infants — another sentiment borrowed from Synanon.
